This petition asks the federal government to stand firm on employment rules that assure unions of jobs on federal projects

Walgreen's has teamed up with Donald Trump and The Celebrity Apprentice to promote more healthy steps in 2012. Yes, the same Donald Trump who falsely accused the president on numerous occassions of made-up issues such as Obama not being a citizen of the United States (birther issue), Obama not qualified to get into an Ivy League school, and Obama starting a war with Iran to win re-election. Is this the image Walgreen's wants to promote? Is this a company you want to do business with?

We are proposing a petition that would haul government officials from making on-going budget cuts on colleges and universities in America. Our research has shown that the budget cuts have worsened the situation of saving money rather then making it better. By making classes bigger due to the high amount of professors being laid off, a lot of students have not received the best education that they deserve. We believe that the best investment a human-being can make is to invest in their education because this is a tool that has no replacement. Everyone should have the right to a strong education without having to worry about the monetary payments that come with it.

Poverty affects not only those living abroad, but those living in the United States as well. The elimination of poverty and hunger needs to be a focus of U.S. foreign and domestic policy. With support from the House of Representatives, a Global Marshall Plan would demonstrate the United States’ commitment and dedication towards poverty reduction in the United States and abroad. This bill holds the potential of transforming development assistance in a way that would significantly reduce poverty worldwide.

My petition is in response to the underfunding of youth activities and the closing of programs to mentor today's youth. This trend has been going on since the regan era and needs to be reversed. Boycott congress and local government to break the cycle.

Help give women a voice by supporting the International Women’s Freedom Act. This bill will help strengthen United States advocacy on behalf of individuals persecuted and denied their rights in foreign countries on account of gender. The promotion of women’s rights will help provide economic, multilateral, military, and export assistance to those who are targets of severe women’s rights violations.

The Microenterprise Empowerment and Job Creation Act would provide assistance for the purpose of expanding the availability of credit, savings, and other financial services to microfinance and microenterprise clients. These individuals are those living in poverty that otherwise are unable to access such services through the private sector. Through such assistance, these individuals will be able to increase access to such services through education, training, and mentoring.

Campaign finance reform. Do not allow any individuals, groups, corporations, PACs, etc. to contribute to anyone running for public office. Public finance and free tv and air time to candidates. Limit the campaigns in time: no 2 year campaigns for president.

Help put a stop to worldwide child trafficking. The Child Protection Compact Act is a bill that provides the United States with assistance for the purpose of eradicating severe forms of trafficking of children in eligible countries. This Act authorizes the Secretary of State to provide assistance through grants, cooperative agreements, or contracts to countries with a significant prevalence of trafficking in children. In order to receive these resources, eligible countries must enter into a Child Protection Compact with the United States to support policies and programs to eradicate the trafficking of children.

The Water for the World Act calls for the United States to help in a global effort to bring sustainable access to clean water and sanitation to the world’s poor through direct funding, development activities, and partnerships within six years of this Act’s enactment.

We have been wasting lives and money in Afghanistan for so long that now even our "friends" are shooting at us. It is time to bring everyone home without delay.

In order for our elected officials to truly understand what it's like to be a member of the working poor we propose that ALL elected officials receive minimum wage and pay for their own medical benefits and retirement plans like the rest of normal, hard-working Americans. This amendment to the constitution will save the government money by reducing the cost of government salaries to the most fairly administered wage standard available: the minimum wage.
